All Activityhttps://www.galacticbasic.net/discover/Galactic Basic - All Activityen2019 UpdatesI've been fiddling with the timeline database in the background and I think I've got it to a stage that I'm happy with. It's still a bit clunky to update but it's the best I'm going to get I think.
I've added filters to the timeline view now, it's pretty basic at the moment but I hope to expand it to be more flexible.
I'm working on a nicer layout for articles now... I've updated the share links on forum posts and articles so they are nicer (and removed a few links for sharing sites that apparently closed years ago, oops!).
I want to redo the navigation menu and header that appears in mobile as well.
Any suggestions welcome.Thu, 21 Feb 2019 22:14:34 +0000Entertain UsDoesn't quite fit, but didn't want to start a new thread...
Basically, it's like having a virtual pet porg... for lots of $$$$$$$$.Thu, 21 Feb 2019 03:56:18 +0000Star Wars Episode IXThere are some theories that go with that...
Like maybe Spark of Hope.

I want to rewatch it too, but I'm saving it for May 4th (so far).Thu, 21 Feb 2019 03:51:13 +0000Star Wars Episode IXJust rewatching The Force Awakens, and find it interesting that Snoke says when they are looking for BB-8 and the map that it would "lead to the last Jedi".
Makes me wonder if the title of Episode IX has been hidden in a quote from The Last Jedi all along?Sat, 16 Feb 2019 17:11:58 +0000Star Wars: The Last Jedi discussionI just really fancied rewatching The Last Jedi, and have realised to my horror that I don't have it yet.
Awkward. 😕Sat, 16 Feb 2019 16:17:19 +0000Into the BadlandsSecond half of the third/last season start end of March. Which I had been waiting for since like August for any news on lol.
Sad that it's going to be over though. But at least they should be able to give us one epic finale.
And who knows it might have been one of those shows that had a clear ending in mind before it started...Sat, 16 Feb 2019 15:58:28 +0000LegionDefinitely.
Plus it sounds as if they are leaving it open to revisiting the character/series in a few years. (If the creators/actors are on board).Sat, 16 Feb 2019 15:56:50 +0000Star Wars - ResistanceAwwww.
Second half of the first season just started up a week or two ago, over here.
And it's already been picked up for a second.Sat, 16 Feb 2019 15:55:31 +0000Thrawn: Treasonhttps://www.galacticbasic.net/star-wars-database/books/thrawn-treason-r78/Thrawn: Treason is the third novel of the canon Thrawn series by Timothy Zahn.
The book sees Grand Admiral Thrawn cross paths with Director Krennic.Thu, 14 Feb 2019 21:58:40 +0000https://www.galacticbasic.net/star-wars-database/books/master-apprentice-r77/Wed, 13 Feb 2019 01:09:29 +0000Into the BadlandsEvidently not aired yet.Mon, 11 Feb 2019 00:36:48 +0000Into the Badlands*sigh* I still never got around to watching it, has the series already finished or are there episodes that have still not been aired?Sun, 10 Feb 2019 23:58:13 +0000Into the BadlandsAnd it's been canceled.Sun, 10 Feb 2019 23:43:20 +0000Timeline discussion and feedbackUpdating the timeline is such a headache. Especially when you get to multiple versions of the same story, such as movie, novelisation, junior novelisation, comic series, video games, etc all of the same title.
And then there is the curious situation that concrete dates for a lot of the new canon don't seem to exist, so there is guesswork involved to find out where to place things on the timeline. Didn't seem to have this issue with the Expanded Universe!
Also, I can't get filters working in a way I like them. If I could get filters working properly then it would make organising everything much easier, and it would look nicer too.Sun, 10 Feb 2019 02:16:16 +0000Star Wars - ResistanceI'm not sure if it's been shown in the UK yet.
*checks* Oops, it was on in October, I missed it. 🤦‍♂️Sat, 09 Feb 2019 19:31:29 +0000Jedi: Fallen OrderThey've announced a release date(ish) of autumn this year... still no footage of screenshots yet, though!Sat, 09 Feb 2019 15:00:55 +0000Jedi: Fallen Order to release this autumnhttps://www.galacticbasic.net/features/gaming/jedi-fallen-order-to-release-this-autumn-r21/EA have revealed during their recent financial statement that Respawn Entertainment's Star Wars video game, Jedi: Fallen Order, will release in autumn 2019.
Despite being highly anticipated by fans there is little information available about Jedi: Fallen Order, and no screenshots or footage has been revealed. The game is set in the period between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, and is said to follow a Jedi being hunted down by agents of the Galactic Empire.
Respawn's founder Vince Zampella has said that the game will be a single player action adventure game, that will (unsurprisingly) feature lightsaber combat. Development of the game is being lead by Stig Asmussen who was previously the creative lead on God of War III. In a 2016 blog post, Asmussen stated that Respawn "promise to pay respect to the Star Wars legacy at all times, a fact that will be constantly reinforced and honored as a central game design tenet."
We impatiently await further details.Sat, 09 Feb 2019 12:47:00 +0000The Entertainment Challenge 2019I suppose I should get my list started.

I like it when a series gets finished properly.Sat, 09 Feb 2019 10:08:47 +0000Prayers Needed PleaseIt's usually quicker. I think part of the delay was just due to it being during the Christmas and New Year period, and he died in hospital after a short sudden illness so I don't know if that complicates things.Sat, 09 Feb 2019 10:07:03 +0000LegionIt was just announced that the upcoming third season will be the last.
Not really a cancellation; Noah Hawley has said he always planned on only three seasons. Thinking of it more as beginning, middle, end, and not one, two, three. Like a comic book story.
But still, BOO!Fri, 08 Feb 2019 03:22:12 +0000TitansHmm, I just opened my Netflix and looked and didn't find it. Must be just be only on the DC Universe for the U.S. Yeah, googlign shows that Netflix is just for international.
